According to Professor Aeon Skoble of Bridgewater State University, the word “value” has very different meanings for economists and philosophers. Economists view value as subjective to reflect individual tastes and preferences. Philosophers, on the other hand, use the term objectively, to refer to concepts such as rights. In this video, Professor Skoble explains how these different conceptions actually compliment each other.

Paradoxically, while natural disasters clearly destroy wealth, they also seem to create wealth and employment when the damages are repaired. But 19th century French economist Frédéric Bastiat argued that this idea is a fallacy and fails to take opportunity costs into account. In this video, philosophy professor Dan Russell of the University of Arizona defines opportunity costs and explains the importance of Bastiat’s realization on contemporary economics.

Robin Farr's 15 minute TedX talk honestly details her journey through postpartum depression over the course of three years. This firsthand account of how a mother came to the diagnosis of PPD is a resource to nurses who wish to better their mental health assessment skills because some of Robin's symptoms (like rage) are not often talked about in association with depression. PPD is often missed by medical professionals because of its variety of presentations, and nurses can use this information to better assess other mothers who may not present with the stereotypical experience of PPD. Her video is compelling evidence for PPD teaching in hopes of reducing the stigma of PPD and encouraging mothers to reach out for help when it is needed. ***Trigger warning: This video contains mention of suicide and descriptions of intense anger.***
